Something was wrong, Anakin could feel it. He could feel his daughter's distress as well as his sons. He wasn't sure what could be wrong since the last time he had checked in on them they had both been fine. Since Padme was resting he decided that he would go and find out what was wrong since the feelings of distress only grew with each second that ticked by. With a kiss to his wife's forehead he headed of and to the nursery where his children should be. The medical droids had given them the all clear health wise, but wanted to keep them for a day or two just to be sure they had not missed something and Anakin had agreed because family came first and if anything happened to them because he was too stubborn to listen to the droids, he would never be able to forgive himself.

As he walked down the long winding hallway he sensed another presence in the force. It was not one he had been expecting to feel, especially here of all places, and it did not belong to anyone he was fond of. Obi-Wan Kenobi was here and there was only one reason his old Jedi master would have come, he sensed Anakin and if he sensed him then he must have sensed the children as well. At the thought of his children in danger, the former Jedi started to run as fast as he possibly could. He needed to get to Luke and Leia as soon as he could and there wasn't a second to spare.

Anakin had no idea what Obi-Wan would do to his children. For all he knew his old mentor could harm them out of spite even though it was no the Jedi way. The same rules did not apply anymore and so he could not know for certain what Obi-Wan would do. When driven to the point of desperation, trying to predict someone's next move became impossible and all of the Jedi had been pushed to that point when Palpatine set in to motion order 66. Jedi were now on the verge of extinction and because of that they would do whatever they had to do in order to survive. The 'Chosen One' realized this and knew that if he was still a part of the Jedi order that he would go to whatever lengths necessary in order to ensure his own survival along with that of his family.

By the time he finally reached the ward his children were supposed to be in, hell had broken loose. There were at least a dozen medical droids now laying in pieces on the floor. Anakin quickly studied there broken robot forms and came to see that his suspicions had been right. They had been hacked to pieces by a light saber. His gaze moved from the droids to the where his beautiful daughter and son should be resting peacefully only to see they were not where they should have been. Two guards where standing there looking at the empty beds before turning their gazes to the angry man in front of them. Both men were smart enough to realize that they probably did not have very long to live.

"Where are my children?" The question came out a hiss as his hand raised and the younger of the two men grasped at his throat trying to pry away fingers that were not actually there. "You have exactly one minute to tell me where my children are before I snap your friend's neck."

The older of the two guards had to stop himself from falling to his knees in fear. "There was a Jedi that came and took them. We tried to stop him, but let us face facts here, our weapons were nothing against a Jedi and you know it as well as I do. Five of my men got taken down by this one man before he got in his ship and took off. There wasn't really anything that we could do. I swear to you we tried to do everything we could, but-"

A quick sharp snapping sound cut him off as he watched in horror as his partner fell to the ground dead staring at him with lifeless glossy eyes. Before he could react however he felt a burn pressure on his throat almost as if he were being choked to death. It was hard for him to hear the words Anakin was speaking since panic had started to take over, but he tried to listen because it may be his only hope of survival.

"You obviously did not try hard enough." Yellow eyes replaced his normal blue as he tightened the force choke he was using on the other man. "My mother always used to tell me that if you want things done then you should do them yourself since you cannot depend on anyone else to do things for you. I suppose that she had a point. I am going to get my children back and kill the man who took them at the same time. It appears as if your services will no longer be needed."

Another quick loud snap and guarder number was on the floor next to his partner. It was a quick death which is something they should be thankful for because not everyone could have a quick mostly painless death. Obi-Wan would most definitely not be given such a break. Anakin would make sure that he suffered for what he had done. His death would be slow, drawn out as long as possible, and as painful as he could make it. He had crossed a line by taking the children and because of that line crossing he would pay and pay dearly. If one tiny hair on their little heads was harmed when Anakin found them the retribution would be swift and ten times as painful, though he knew nothing he did to Obi-Wan would compare to the pain his wife would feel when he told her what had happened.

AN: So is Anakin angry or what? Man, I know that I wouldn't want to be Obi-Wan when Anakin finds him. Padme is going to find out what happened in the next chapter and she comes up with a plan to get her children back. Let me know what you all thought of this chapter and if you all liked it or not.
